rear wheel spaced at 120" each side of the valve.
To fit
the bolts, remove the tire and tube, mark the
bolt positions and drill the rim between two spoke
nipples to the required size of the bolt.
After removing any burr from the holes, fit the
bolts quite loosely and replace che tire so that the
covered portion of the security bolt Is inside the
tire (see Fig.F22).
Check
that the tire is correctly positioned, innate
to the required pressure, and tighten the nuts On
to the rim.
